Telescoping Mirrors
Good Afternoon.
I just bought a 1999 F-250 4X4 and was wondering about the mirrors. It may sound silly but I thought that they all moved in and out for trailer towing. I can't seem to get them to move in. Do they or do they not telescope on this year of truck.

Tried pulling and pushin on them and they seem not to move at all. I think they look silly all the way out like that, and I don't see and button on the arm rest other than the one to adjust the mirror it self.

They should. Don't expect them to move a foot or more though. Mine has 3 posititons. About an inch or 2 apart. Grab the inside of the mirror housing between the two posts & give a little tug. If that doesn't work, push it toward the door.
There are no buttons, it's done manually in '99

My 99 DID NOT telescope. I got a set of mirrors from a 2005 that telescope, power mirror, turn, marker lights and heat. $100 and they mounted right up...work great. Got them from another member on this forum that put actual Semi truck mirrors on his 05. Check around...you can find a good deal if you shop around enough.

2008 F250 SD DIesel- how to change Mirror Marker Lights?
Ford Manual does not show how this is done. I see behind the mirror some clips- do these need undone or can you just remove the amber cover with a screwdriver?
